Brian, the only quick info I can find is that "There are two versions of displays for the Macbook Pro 15". There are the standard LCD displays, and there are LED displays. The standard displays go into the 1.83GHZ, 2.0GHZ, 2.16GHZ and 2.33GHZ models. The LED displays are only compatible with with 2.2GHz, 2.4GHz, 2.5, and 2.6GHz Santa Rosa and Penryn models. Matte and glossy screens are interchangeable within their model type." So one could be a LED and the other an LCD. That means different technology so no go. There is also the possibility that other MacBook Pro (Late 2008) has the Full Display Assembly (Glossy) Item #: 661-5091-A which is compatible with Apple 661-4837 which is a LP154WP3 and manufactured by LG. If you could get the number of the A1260 we could absolutely verify a Yay or Nay. Confused yet ;-)?

i ll post what i end up doing, its still undecided how and what options will be used to fix or sell and upgrade ( I didnt end up getting that broken model i needed). ill ask additional question , in comments if something else arises.
